Autopsy of a Fairytale

Autopsy of a Fairytale, Book 1

De: Nicole Scarano

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Beauty and the Beast meets Criminal Minds in this murder mystery romantic suspense.

After an attack on the job, Homicide Detective Isobel 'Bel' Emerson takes her dog and moves to the small town of Bajka in search of a less stressful life and career. But the quaint town's peace is disturbed when a local furniture designer is murdered, his body posed to look like a human chandelier. Thrust back into the fray, Bel must confront her personal demons as she investigates an impossible case, and as bodies turned into household objects start to pile up, all clues point to the reclusive millionaire who just bought the abandoned mansion at the edge of town.

Eamon Stone is as dangerous as he is handsome, and Bel can't shake the feeling that there's more to his presence in Bajka than meets the eye. Something about him is familiar, and while she knows he's a threat, she can't fight his pull. Like a moth to flame, she's drawn to the man stalking her, to the only murder suspect they have. Bel fears he craves her blood as much as she craves his presence. She fears he is the evil hunting this town...the beast hunting her.

Loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast, Autopsy of a Fairytale is a crime series romantic suspense perfect for those who like dark fairytales, murder mystery procedurals (like AMC's The Killing or NBC's Hannibal), romance, found family, and a hint of fantasy. Each book will be based on a different fairytale, but Bel (and her Beast) will connect them all, her story ending on small cliffhangers in each book.

Twist on the classic Beauty & the Beast

Loved the criminal minds feel for this twist on a classic.

Sucker for any book that features rescue pitbulls as a main character too.

Absolutely captivating

Absolutely captivating! Love every second of it. Recommend to everyone to read this wonderful story.

Loved it, Captivating and well paced.

This book kept my interest the entire time and when finished, I could not wait to start the next one in the series. Many twists and turns and surprises. I highly recommend this series to all!

Kept me guessing until the end

Wish there was a male narrating for the main character male but it had so many interesting twists. Wasn’t expecting the ending and liked it more than I thought I would

Wonderful from start to finish.

I love all 3 books from the main characters to the wonderful childhood fairy tale modern day story.

The writing was capturing and made you feel like part of the story

I liked the characters and how it leaves you on edge. It leaves you wanting more.

unexpected supernatural twist

I was anticipating more romance and more obvious supernatural elements and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't shape the whole story. I loved the nods to the classic beauty and the beast stories (including the 6 sisters!) As someone who started Mary Higgins Clark, Stephen King and Dean Koontz this felt reminiscent in style. I enjoyed the character development and the fact that the supernatural piece was left to the end and I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Thank you! May I have another?

i devoured this book . All my favorite ganres in one book. Yes, please! so good.
